THOMAS Ii. TRIPLETT, 0F :PATTERSOBL .NOR'IIIIV.CARQLINLV JAR HOLDER. i'

Application led .Tuly 2,

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, THOMAS HARLEY Tiurnnrr, a citizen of the United States, residing at Patterson, in the county of Caldwell and State of North Carolina, have invented certain new and useful Improvementsin J ar Holders, of which the followvl` ing is a specification.

Y This invention relates to jar holders, and has particular reference to a device that is to be employed in the holding of jars for facilitating the filling and closing of the same.

The primary object of my invention resides in the provision of a jar holder of ythe above character, that is so constructed as to encompass practically the entire ring of the jar for thereby preventing the wabbling or slipping of the jar from within the holder during the filling or closing o peration.

A further and important object of the invention is to provide an article of this character which is relatively simple of con struct-ion, inexpensive of manufacture and well adapted for the purposes designated.

Vith the foregoing and other objects in view as the nature of the invention will be better understood, the same comprises the novel form, combination and arrangement, providing a jar holder hereinafter `more fully described, shown in the accompanying drawing and claimed.

In the drawing wherein like reference charac-ters indicate corresponding parts throughout both of the views:

Figure l is a side elevational view of a jar holder constructed in accordance with the present invention, and

Fig. 2 is a top plan view thereof.

Now having particular reference to the drawing, my novel jar holder constitutes the rovision of a plurality of spaced metallic ands, preferably three in number, and designatedv by the reference characters 5, 6 and 7, respectively. These metallic bands are arranged vertically with respect to each other, and are secured in such relation through the medium of a sheet metal strip 8, secured to the bands through the medium of rivets 5', 6 and 7', respectively. As

clearly shown in both of the figures of the drawing, this strip 8 is attached to the bands at the rear side thereof. Similar ends of the upper and lower'bands 5 and 6 eX- tend inwardly along side of the opposite ends thereof, as clearly shown in Fig. 2, for closing the space that would otherwise exist between the ends ofthese bands and for permitting of the entire circling of the jar. The intermediate hand G has one of its ends extended inside of the opposite end vthereof., and said extended end of this band is directly opposite the extended ends ot the upper and lowermost bands, which will result, when the `bands are contracted, in the more eiiicient clasping of the jar.V

Secured to the outermost ends of the upper and lower hands 5 and 7 and to the innermost hands 6 at a point spaced from the inwardly extending end thereof is a vertically arranged metal strip 9, while similarly secured to the outermost end of the central 'band 6 and at points spaced from the inwardly extending ends of the upper and lower bands 5 and 7 and in line with the outer end of said hand 6 is a similar metallic strip 10. Each of these strips is formed with an outwardly laterally eX- tending handle 9 and l0 respectively, it being noted from Fig. 2 that these features are substantially parallel and are in spaced relation with respect to each other.

The tendency of the metallic bands is to spring to an open position or in other words, the springy nature of these bands result in such an opening of the bands as to permit of t-he ready positioning of the article over a jar. Itis of course apparent that after this holder is disposed over a ar, the forcing of the handles 9 and l0 together will result in the closing of the bands upon the jar and the effective holding of the same.

The advantages of a jar holder of this character willbe readily appreciated, and even though I have herein shown and described the most preferred embodiment of the invention with which I am at this time familiar, it is nevertheless to be understood that minor changes may be made in the invention, without departing from the spirit and scope of the appended claim.

Having thus described my invention, end of the other band being attached to the 10 what I claim as new, and desire to secure other strip and an intermediate portion to by Letters-Patent, is: the rst strip, the portions of the bands ex A jar holder comprising a pair of strips tending from the attached intermediate por- 5 each having a handle located at a point intions overlapping the strips to which their terniediate its ends, a pair of hands disposed ends are attached. transversely of the strips, one end of one In testimony whereof l a'hx my signaband being attached to one strip and an inture. termediate portion to the other strip, one THOMASH.
